PBS Great American Read

PBS has been hosting a series highlighting what they've determined to be America's most loved books. Regardless of the method, it is an interesting list of all variety of styles, periods, and subjects. I enjoyed browsing the list to see how many I've read and have added a couple to my wish list. I believe there is some voting and there has been some life changing commentaries by ordinary and famous people on video feature I've seen.http://www.pbs.org/the-great-american-read/books/#/

I love this kind of list.. it gives me a way to pick books to read. Years ago, in 2000, when Random House came out with the best novels of the 20th century, I embarked on a mission to get through the list. I never did (seems I barely left the dock--I still have only read 16 on that list), but I did read several classics I had missed over the years.

Thanks, Roger, I have a list to explore, with a number to read again. Life has been so busy of late that I have neglected my reading.
